"Anybody who knows me knows I would never hit anybody," Morrison said. "That's always been a knock on me that I'm not aggressive enough on the court, not to mention how passive I am off the court."
:tounge:
This coming from the kid that was suspended for throwing a punch??
And what's with people thinking that somebody would "target" Portland State basketball players? Trying to twist that into a motive is absolutely ridiculous.
This article is definitely biased. It only presents the story from Morrison's side. I'd be curious to see a similar interview from Meagher's point of view.
Reached late Wednesday in Lansing, Mich., with his mother at his side, Meagher spoke clearly and plainly despite his jaw injury, saying he was certain it was Morrison who hit him.
This is an editorial comment that the journalist should have known better than to use in this story. This only proves to me that the author has an angle.
I also am curious about the picture that Meagher mentioned. If there is hard evidence, that would explain why a settlement (which this article conveniently forgets to address) was reached so quickly.
Still too many questions. Morrison has a motive to lie about the story, Meagher doesn't. This will probably just be swept under the rug. Sounds to me like Meagher accepted a settlement and dropped charges.
Notice that none of Morrison's quotes actually say that he didn't do it. He talks about the fact that there are no charges, that they were shocked when they were detained, and that there was a misunderstanding.
If I were falsely accused, the first words out of my mouth are, "I didn't lay a finger on this guy." With lawyers involved, it's reasonable to think that they coached him up on what to talk about in this interview. The fact that there is no "I didn't do it" quote is suspicious.
Once again - this latest story is a persuasive article. The author adds a lot of commentary to make the reader think a certain way.
